Enjoy the beauty of the Forbidden City

         The most representative of ancient Chinese palace architecture was Beijing's Forbidden City with glazed roof tiles. The architectural layout of the Forbidden City in Beijing fully reflects the principles of "antebellum", "left ancestral rightist", "axis arrangement", "equilibrium symmetry", "harmony between man and nature" and "imperial power." If you have the opportunity to overlook the Imperial City of Beijing from the air, you will see its shape is like a golden key, pavilion heavy, dense courtyard, red walls yellow tiles, magnificent. Why the Royal Palace is so luxurious? Xiao Hao, the prime minister of the Han dynasty out of which the secret. It is said that Liu Bang was initially dissatisfied with the magnificent Weiyang Palace where construction of Xiao He was greatly resumed. Xiao He replied: "The emperor has taken the whole world as a home, but it is neither spectacular nor spectacular." This "heavy prestige" is to fully display the power of royal authority.

  
        The architecture of the Forbidden City can be said to have been built according to the Zhou ritual in Confucianism. In the "Zhou Li" clearly documented: "tradesmen country, Fang Jiuli, next to the three doors, nine in the country by nine latitude, left ancestral right club, facing the market outlook." Means that the construction of the capital, the city outline should be presented square, each side length of Jiuhua, each with three gates, the city should have horizontal and vertical nine vertical and horizontal streets, in front of the building in Miyagi ancestral temple , The right front of the construction of the altar, the front is the main reason for government, the rear should be in the market. Beijing Forbidden City is basically based on these plans and construction with Chinese roof tile. Now we can see in Beijing that there is an imperial temple built on the eastern side of the Forbidden City and the ancestor of the royal family. There is a small altar in today's labor park to the west of the Forbidden City. In ancient times, "community" and "millet" (Valley God) collectively known as "Sajik", on behalf of the country and the world. Because China is an agriculture-based country, it worshiped God on land and regarded the land as the foundation of the country. Therefore, it has established the altar.
 

       Judging which one of the palace complex is the main building, there are three major characteristics: one is the style of the roof; the other is the room of the house; and the third is the base of the building.

 
      China's ancient palace buildings have strict hierarchy rules. Walking in the Forbidden City you can feel the existence of this level everywhere. The architecture of the Forbidden City shows everywhere the strictness of the feudal society, as far as the overall layout, the main building, small objects, color and door nails. Towering tall roofs and tall Taiji are the most important features of ancient Chinese palace buildings and constitute the concrete images and connotations of "heaven, earth and people".
